Ok my 2018 GT2 with only 54,000 miles has me really scratching my head! The car was driving FINE prior but come out the next day after driving it the night before totally ISSUE FREE I come out the next morning go to start the car and get nothing so right off my mind starts working thinking battery but by the sound of the car attempting to start I started thinking the STARTER but did notice how my car never does the start/stop function anymore and after some research found that once the battery get below a certain voltage it won’t start/stop anymore so my mind starts going everywhere thinking it could maybe be a fuse but Still thinking it’s the STARTER but I went and bought a NEW AGM INTERSTATE Battery for it cause the sales guy did show me on the TESTER where it would jump from 12.2 down to 12.0 then jump to a quick 12.4 then jump back down to 12.2 telling me that it’s the sign off a” going bad” battery so went on and bought it. I came home installed the battery and got the sand damn thing with that distinctive start pattern which was a “ single click” sound and was still thinking the STARTER but then after talking to my TUNER explaining to him the situation he also agreed that the NO START: STOP feature IS A SIGN of a going bad battery also him referring to the “clicking” sound or should I say “SINGLE CLICK sound.. He still agreed it was at the battery… I still don’t feel that but went along with it because he’s the TUNER. So after explaining to him that the battery wasn’t it. All He could do is reply Hmmmf! I tell him as I hac before that it was the STARTER. He then try explaining again to me that how he thought it would be the battery because of the click sound but works find out more when the car got there of course I trusted him. Anyway, so the car never started so I had to call the TOW guy to tow it to my TUNERS shop.
So the Tow man gets there and ask me what’s going on so i tell him the situation so he asks for my key and attempts to start the car but kept trying it over and over so I’m like “Dude what are you doing the car isn’t gonna start so he stopped. So as he’s hooking it up he say’s to me “it’s the “STARTER”! So I’m like what makes you think that and he says back to me “because I been doing this a long time and I was listening to it why attempting to start it and noticed how it was only giving a SINGLE CLICK , and not giving multiple MULTIPLE CLICKS” … following up with again that how he had been doing his job for a long time and knows that when it’s a battery is when you hear the MULTIPLE CLICKS, and when you try to start the car and you just hear the ONE SINGLE CLICK, it’s the STARTER which I had originally thought from the very beginning until the battery guy and my Tuner) made me think different.
I could be wrong but I’m going with yhe TOW guy and my ORIGINAL DECISION…ITS THE STARTER!!!!!!!!
Does anyone agree it’s the STARTER?????
